There is no such thing as active window for MDIs. Technically,
active window is a window that either itself, or one of its
children has the focus. However, when the main MDI container
window doesn't have the focus itself, the meaning of active
MDI window is lost. You can try "currentWidget" property instead, that
points to the immediate child that either has the focus now,
or will have it when the parent becomes focused. Note that
this property won't necessarly point to an MDI window.

Another approach would be to write a function that traverses
Z-order, getting to the topmost MDI window. See in MDI.pm,
on_translateaccel, lines 774-778, how searching for the
next or previous MDI window in the window stack is implemented.
